2015 Through Headphones

The year of 2015 was not the best in music. Surely, Jonghyeon and SHINee released an album and my review of the year could and probably should end here, but while going through some notes I made past year, I decided to make a monthly list with releases that are actually good. That is months worth mentioning
But then again, 2015 was not a good year in anything.
Without much ado, let's go!

We Built This City...

...on some more pop. 

I know, I've been a horrible blogger lately. You can blame it all on my work, on my inability to watch a Kdrama, on my weird affinity to Z-Class movies (Oh hell no, it's Sharknado 4!).

But one thing remains constant in my life (no, not Jjong this time, but close), and it's the music.

Here you have few songs and artists that caught my ear these past months (since March, I guess).

No Kim Jonghyeon, because I want to torture you all and deprive you of our Lord and Savior.
But soon, soon... be very afraid!

Kim Jonghyeon's End of a Day...

 

...is our end of sanity.
This post is just a redundant job to remind you how awesome our young man is.
The clima...tic MV for the song from his new album is below.

Who likes Ddeokbokki?

   Park Myeongsu's Ddeokbokki of course^^ Ever since hearing this song for the first time, it's on my daily "Feel Good" playlist. It has this familiar, rural-stylized feel, catchy rhythm and absolutely positive flow. With a substantial dose of weirdness.

Through June With Music

   Or whatever is left of June anyway. My persistent habit of writing random words into YouTube, and now spotify, has been always paying off with finding few really nice artists like Jordan Chan Siu Chun (Traditional Chinese: 陳小春) whose album was a pleasant surprise (oh well, year 2001 in Asian R'n'B was a good year). Or some progressive metal band...

Special thanks go to Viande, who linked Yong Junhyeong's mini album and I fell for it hopelessly. My neighbours are probably less grateful to you, hon^^

Let's sing the 2013 off!

   Oh well, not every year may be the fountain of new music springing from the depths of the world (and internets). 2013 was not that year.

World went crazy for Miley Tongus' racy video which for me was just a plain attempt coming from an attentionwh*re, thankfully Gangnam Style stopped being played in every damn radio station all over the globe, million new bands debuted and EXO had their ball-of-fur comeback.

Monstar - singing scene

   I can tell with nearly surgical accuracy when the obssession hits. And I can hear this faint sound of tiny feet circling around, closer with each round and closer...

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you singing scene from Monstar ep 1.

Liebster Award - Coming Out Time!

   This kind of thing is perfect for nourishing the bonds between people, especially that we meet every day, talk about (almost) everything, we even know what kind of risotto we prefer and whether we drink tea with sugar or not. This gesture is another stamp on the relationships.

We like similar things or we hate them, but we still stick together despite our differencies, which makes the group of people so interesting.
